Answer:

1042

Step-by-step explanation:

-38,-8,22,52

The common difference is 52 - 22 = 30

a_1 = -38

a_2 = -38 + 30

a_3 = -38 + 2 * 30

a_4 = -38 + 3 * 30     (notice that the common difference is multiplied by 1 less than the term number)

a_n = -38 + (n - 1)30      (since the term number is n, we multiply the common difference by n - 1)

a_n = -38 + 30(n - 1)

a_37 = -38 + 30(37 - 1)

a_37 = 1042
